Honda Sensing on the CR-V stops or nearly stops for a car at 43 mph

In IIHS's tougher front crash prevention test of April 2024, the 2023-24 Honda CR-V warned in time and stopped or nearly stopped in every trial with a car target. It rated acceptable.

  • Not rated a person

    People in the CR-V stand to gain, but IIHS reports track tests with targets and no crash outcomes.

  • Not rated society

    Motorcyclists and people in the vehicles ahead stand to gain, but IIHS reports track tests and no crash outcomes.

Depth runs from 1, a convenience or time saved, to 5, a life or a livelihood preserved.

Two independent assessment reports support the benefit.

Compared with

The seven small SUVs rated marginal or poor in the same IIHS test. Measured.

Without the system
The Ford Escape, Hyundai Tucson and Jeep Compass earn marginal ratings, while the Chevrolet Equinox, Mazda CX-5, Mitsubishi Outlander and Volkswagen Taos are all rated poor
With it
Two others, the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, are rated acceptable
The system’s part
Not isolated. IIHS tested the CR-V with its system on and compared it with nine other small SUVs, with no run without the system. The release does not describe the sensors or the software. Honda's press kit says that the new camera recognizes attributes of objects such as vehicles or pedestrians and that a fast processor measures distance from changes in their size. The kit says that the infotainment system on the Sport Touring uses machine learning to suggest applications but does not say so of Honda Sensing. None of the cited documents shows that the detection learns from data.

    The acceptable-rated CR-V provided a timely forward collision warning alert and came to a stop or near stop in every trial with the passenger car target and in the 31 and 37 mph trials with the motorcycle target.

  3. Press release, by the makers. Context or contrary evidence.

    American Honda Motor Co. 2023 Honda CR-V Press Kit. 18 October 2022, section Improved Honda Sensing. Cited for how the camera recognizes objects.

    The camera detects feature points of a target and also recognizes attributes of objects such as vehicles or pedestrians. With the use of an exceptionally fast processor, the system measures distance and the lateral position of objects based on the change in the size of the target object, how long it took for the change to occur and speed of the vehicle.

Workflow

Honda Sensing with a new front camera and radar was standard on the 2023 CR-V. IIHS ran trials at 31, 37 and 43 mph with car and motorcycle targets centered and offset in the lane. Points went to warnings at least 2.1 seconds before the projected impact and to large speed reductions.

Follow-up

Conditions for replication

The closing speed is at most 43 mph for a car and 37 mph for a motorcycle, since braking for the motorcycle faltered at 43 mph. The rating applies to 2023-27 CR-V models.

Entry details

Sector

Road vehicle crash avoidance.

Purpose

Honda built the Collision Mitigation Braking System in Honda Sensing to warn the driver of a possible frontal collision and brake automatically to reduce its severity.
